Narrative of Paula Hawkins’ 2015 Book:

The psychological thriller is based on the perspective of three women – Rachel Watson, Anna Boyd, and Megan Hipwell. The book is based on Rachel, an alcoholic, who is recovering from her broken marriage and addiction. Her condition causes her to forget things in a state of inebriation. Every day, she takes the train to London and passes by the former husband’s house, who now lives with his new family – wife Anna and daughter Evie. In the middle of her train journey, she gets fixated with another couple, who she names Jason and Jess in her mind. The couple represents a perfect relationship that Rachel missed out on and always aspired to have. One night after being heavily drunk, Rachel finds herself covered in blood and at the same time, Megan Hipwell (Jess) goes missing. From here, events unravel and Rachel tries to reconstruct memories from the last night while she gets interrogated by the cops.

♦ Hiten Patel as Doctor David

Parineeti on Her Role:

“The Girl On The Train’ was an entirely different experience for me as I have never played this kind of role before. Getting into the character of Meera Kapoor and working closely with (director) Ribhu (Dasgupta) to bring her to life was an immense learning experience for me. As an actor, I have always wanted to challenge myself with more, and this role gave me the opportunity to do so. ‘The Girl On The Train’ will take the audiences on a dark journey trying to piece together the reality of who actually committed the crime and have them guessing the truth.”
